Step 2: Integrate with Yext

There are two main paths for integrating AEM image assets with Yext:

  • Sync your AEM image Assets as Assets in your Yext Assets library

  • Store your AEM Assets directly as values on your Yext Entities

Yext Assets

Assets are a great way to store a library of shared, pre-approved content in Yext. Once in the library, the image asset can be used in a variety of places throughout the platform, including on entities, in entity templates, in social posts, and more. You should choose this option if you plan to use the AEM Assets as reusable Assets in Yext. To learn more about the Yext Assets feature, see here .

Yext’s Asset Library can directly store images of the following types: JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP. Your integration should look for AEM Assets of those types and sync them with the Yext Assets API endpoint: see here .

Yext Entity Values

If you do not plan to use the AEM Assets as reusable assets in Yext, you can store the images directly as values on Yext Entities. Note that if you choose this option, you will not be able to directly reuse the images as assets throughout the Yext platform, as they would be stored as properties on existing Entities.

Yext’s Photo fields can directly store images of the following types: JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP. You could sync AEM Assets of these types to any Yext field of type Photo, Photo Gallery, Complex Photo or Complex Photo Gallery, including both built-in and custom fields.
